HWPL Georgia Branch commemorated International Day of Volunteer

HWPL Georgia hosted commemoration of the Internationl Day of Volunteer and 87 people who support HWPL attended.

HWPL Georgia has held volunteer drives and collections to provide help for the refugees in Clarkston, Georgia.

While HWPL volunteers felt rewarded through these campaigns, they also learned that refugees had left their hometowns because of war. Therefore, a special year-end gala to celebrate International Volunteer Day on December 5th was planned, and the volunteers decided to produce and screen a documentary about refugees at the gala.

Volunteers conducted interviews with residents of the refugee community. Focusing on war, which is a major cause of refugees, we produced the documentary “Because of War,” which conveys the message that what these people want is for the war to end and to return to their hometowns. The documentary not only focuses on the horrors of war, but also emphasizes how the positive impact of volunteer work can change society, conveying the message that we must all come together as one to overcome difficulties.
